Question What does "about 2" servings REALLY mean?

I'm confused about points for Campbells Chunky Healthy Request Grilled Chicken & Sausage Gumbo (15 oz microwavable):

One serving is 130 cal, 2.5 g. fat and 3 g. fiber. - this comes out to 2 points.

The container has "about 2" servings.

If I double the NI, it comes out to 5 points. If it's less than 2 complete servings, it comes out to 4 points.


How do you calculate this? What does "about 2" servings mean?

According to the Campbell's web site, a serving of your soup is 1 cup, which equals 8 oz.

Since you have a 15 oz size, your container has one 8 oz serving and then 7 oz left over (7/8 of an 8 oz serving). So you get one complete serving that matches the nutritional information and then a second serving that's 7/8 of the nutritional information. It's so goofy, because if an 8 oz cup is a serving, why not make the whole thing 16 oz instead of 15 oz??

That's why it's "about two servings" -- because it's almost, but not quite two 8 oz cups.
